About this spot
Horsetooth Reservoir west of Fort Collins has rocky shoreline cliffs, especially around Rotary Park on the east side, that people jump from into deep water. Note: cliff jumping is officially prohibited here, and rock and depth vary — entirely at your own risk.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
